I can't make out what I think is the address for Agnes Keith (Registration No: 204)
It is in the column When and Where Born, with Hour of Birth.
I can make out:
1860
September
Twenty fourth
5........ then it looks like Pells
Hurlford
Riccarton
Any help with deciphering would be very welcome

5 h. 0 m. P.M.
I think the minutes should be 0, but definitely 5 p.m.
-
Thank you so much. It makes perfect sense now you have pointed it out. The PM (Pells) threw me completely.

It says " 5 hours 0 Minutes PM" in other words 5 o'clock in the evening. Look at the entry 2 above - they were born at 4 Hours 30 Minutes - i.e. 4.30 ... Bill

I think the next line is Hereford

Thanks for your replies. The location is Hurlford, in the parish of Riccarton. The family appears on the 1861 Scotland census.
